The correct Answer is:
To evaluate the limit \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\log(3+x) - \log(3-x)}{x} \] we can start by recognizing that substituting \(x = 0\) directly into the expression gives us an indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \). Therefore, we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule, which states that if we have an indeterminate form \( \frac{0}{0} \) or \( \frac{\infty}{\infty} \), we can take the derivative of the numerator and the derivative of the denominator. ### Step 1: Differentiate the numerator and denominator The numerator is \( \log(3+x) - \log(3-x) \). We can differentiate it: 1. The derivative of \( \log(3+x) \) is \( \frac{1}{3+x} \). 2. The derivative of \( \log(3-x) \) is \( -\frac{1}{3-x} \) (using the chain rule). So, the derivative of the numerator is: \[ \frac{d}{dx}[\log(3+x) - \log(3-x)] = \frac{1}{3+x} + \frac{1}{3-x} \] The denominator is simply \( x \), and its derivative is \( 1 \). ### Step 2: Apply L'Hôpital's Rule Now we can apply L'Hôpital's Rule: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\log(3+x) - \log(3-x)}{x} = \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\frac{1}{3+x} + \frac{1}{3-x}}{1} \] ### Step 3: Evaluate the limit Now we substitute \( x = 0 \): \[ = \frac{1}{3+0} + \frac{1}{3-0} = \frac{1}{3} + \frac{1}{3} = \frac{2}{3} \] Thus, the limit evaluates to: \[ \lim_{x \to 0} \frac{\log(3+x) - \log(3-x)}{x} = \frac{2}{3} \] ### Final Answer \[ \frac{2}{3} \]
